It is of interest that between 20 and 40 years there is a continuous decline in the catabolic rate of albumin per unit of LBM and thus the decline of the metabolic rate is not mediated by the changing ratio of body fat. It was demonstrated that the lean body mass is also the most ...
Albumin is an abundant protein in nature with several biological functions. In the human body, both in health and in illness, its transport function is highlighted by the binding to medicinal drugs and consequent distribution in the bloodstream to the site of action. This is particularly relevant...
Preoperative assessment included age, gender, BMI, smoking habits, diabetes, left-ventricular function, S-albumin and C-reactive protein. Postoperative data was type of surgery, in-hospital stay, signs of infections and mortality. Risk factors for mortality were identified using the Cox proportional ...
Albumin has an important physiologic function as a transporter of insoluble substances in the blood, and its high concentration of 40 mg/ml also contributes to the regulation of the oncotic pressure and blood volume. The extraordinary properties of albumin regarding stability and serum half-life, as...

Relationship between renal function and diabetic osteoporosis in the diabetics BACKGROUND: Most of the literatures only reported that there is a great difference between diabetics who have a high 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate and those without renal damage,but there is no obvious difference ...
The serum albumin concentration is a function of its rates of synthesis and degradation and its distribution between the intravascular and extravascular compartments. The total body albumin pool measures about 3.5–5.0 g kg−1 body weight (250–300 g for a healthy 70 kg adult). The plasma com...
Rab GTPase proteins have been proposed to function in transcytosis through associations with the cytoskeleton [103]. There are over 60 types of Rabs which have different roles in vesicle trafficking, docking, and fusion [103]. This family of proteins has been studied more in epithelial cells than...
Greater body height in males, resulting in a higher rostro-caudal gradient, has been hypothesised as one potential cause of these sex-related differences [19]. Furthermore, barrier function appeared to be influenced by other disease-independent determinants, such as weight and body mass index (BMI...
